PR OVIDENT LIFE OFFICE, REGENT-STREET. 11e Publi c are insufficiently acquainted with the vast difference C hien there is in the various Offices for Life Insurance. The r ofe ssions of all are pretty nearly equal, but their disparity in Per- C r oance is immense. Nearly all now offer a participation in pro in terms more or less vague ; but as of them make any profits, ,neertainty in that respect is of little consequence. A more mate ;44 question is, When the claim arises, will it be paid? or, if inco :eniently large, will objections be sought for, and expensive litiga- L. - fts raised to defeat it? Or else, if, after the contributions have L'ee continued for a long series of years, and the Policy is drawing 'ward s a claim, if, from any . accident or necessity, the annual pay ;neat be omitted on the precise day, will the Managers take advan- Ne of the omission, refuse to renew, annul the policy, and seize all th e deposit as a clear gain? Recent disclosures have shewn ...at the risk tho loas ur runtrintions LUIS ..., a. b .__ tllO. ll the risk insured against. It is therefore important to know, that the security and conve nience of the public in keeping up their policies are amply provided for in the following condition, whi c h is peculiar to the PRO VIDENT LIFE OFFICE :—" If, from any accident or necessity, Parties do not renew at the stated periods, they are entitled to re. Pair the omission at any time within a year, on the payment of a fine of Ios. per cent, and proof of health." The profits in the Pzot e le r n s t Fe divided a t the end of every seven years among t h e in proportion to their respective contributions. These have gone on increasing since 1806 to 40 per cent. Only an eighteenth part of the profits is taken by the Shareholders, in con sideration of their advance and guarantee of a Quarter of a Million sterling, and their exoneration of the other members, from any loss. As the effect of these divisions of profits, in addition to the policies, may be better understood by a few examples, the fol *wing are extracted from the list of claims paid during the last year :___ No. of I Number of Sums Amounts Policy.

CARLOW ELECTION.-PETITION OF MR. VIGORS. To the Hon. the Commons of the United Kingdom o Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The humble petition of Nicholas Aylward Vigors, of Ches• ter-terrace, Regent's-park in the county of Middlesex and of Old Leighlin, in the county of Carlow : Showeth--That your petitioner is informed that peti. tions have been presented to your Hon. House by certain electors of th 6 county of Carlow, and by certain inhabitants of Bath, complaining of alleged illegal, unconstitutional, and corrupt conduct of your petitioner, in concert with Daniel O'Connell, Esq., (a Member of your Hon. House), and Alexander Raphael, and other individuals, and praying that your Hon. House will be pleased to inquire strictly into the circumstances thereof, and to bring to punishment all persons whom your Hon. House may, on inquiry, deem guilty of illegal or unconstitutional acts. That your petitioner has read the copies of such petitions in the printed votes of your Hon. House. That your petitioner respectfully denies the truth of the charges and imputations conveyed in these petitions, alleg ing illegal and unconstitutional conduct, both as respects himself and the said Daniel O'Connell, and the independent electors of the county of Carlow. That the money transactions alluded to the said peti tions were, as your petitioner avers, and is advised, strictly legal, constitutional, and honourable ; that the great majo rity of your Hon. House i 3 accustomed to make similar money arrangements in respect to their seats in the Com mons' House, of Parliament. `That the said Daniel O'Connell, Esq., at the request of Alexander Raphael, and with the consent of your peti tioner, was the individual with whom the monies referred to were lodged by mutual consent ; that the said Daniel O'Connell duly and honourably accounted for such monies with your petitioner, in no ways interfering with the ap propriation thereof—that no part of such monies was ille gally or unconstitutionally expended, and that your peti tioner was not, directly or indirectly, concerned, by him self or his agents, or partisans, in any malpractices what ever, in relation to the Representation of the said County of Carlow, or in relation to the Commons' Committees thereon. That your petitioner and his family are extensive Pro• testant landed proprietors in the counties of Carlow, Queen's county, and Wexford, and that your petitioner re presented the county town of Carlow in Parliament in 1832, 1833, and 1834. That your petitioner, on the dissolution of Parliament in December, 1834, was an unsuccessful candidate for the bo rough of Carlow : but in June last your petitioner, on the unseating of Messrs. Bruen and Kavanagh, was called upon by the leading Reformers of the county to become a can didate for the representation of that county, and your pe titioner thereupon was a candidate, and was returned by a majority of 57 votes. That Alexander Raphael was returned at the same con test, in conjunction with your petitioner, by a majority of 56 votes. That the said Henry Bruen and Thomas Kavanagh were the candidates on the Tory, or " Conservative," in terest, opposed to your petitioner and the said Alexander Raphael. That the said Henry Bruen and Thomas Kavanagh, on a petition of Carlow county electors against the return of your petitioner and the said Alexander Raphael, were de clared by a Committee of your Hon. House, the members for the said county, in lieu of your petitioner and the said Alexander Raphael. That your petitioner, by himself and his agents, is anxi ous to be rigidly examined at the bar of your Hon. House, or by a Select Committee, on all matters without reserve relating to all his said election matters, and without limita tion as to time or circumstance. That your petitioner is anxious and willing to produce to your Hon. House all accounts, papers, documents, vouchers, and any other matters or things whatsoever, without re serve, directly or indirectly relating to elections or election Committees of the county of Carlow, and directly or in directly relating to the matters in the said petitions, re flecting on the personal or political conduct of your peti tioner or other parties. That your petitioner humbly and respectfully represents to your Hon. House that your Hon H` e annnt 6)11., out a full and. strict investigation into all n th‘e pecuhar cir cumstances of the Carlow election contests in the years 1832 and 1833. That the circumstances and facts ,connected with such elections will disclose a system of unexampled Tory perse cution of the electors, and of conspiracy against the freedom and purity of election, without parallel in the records of election fraud and oppression, and circumstances immedi ately bearing on the merits of the said petitions. That the evidence before the Carlow Election Committee of your Hon. House in May, 1835, was never printed, and is generally unknown to your Hon. House. That your petitioner begs leave to refer your Hon. House to that evidence, and to the remarkable testimony of the Rev. James Maher, of the borough of Carlow, before the Select Committee of your Hon. House, appointed in the last Session of Parliament, " to consider the most effectual means of preventing bribery, corruption, and intimi dation in the election of members to serve in Parliament," your petitioner humbly averring that the said Rev. James Maher is a gentleman of indisputable integrity, education, intelligence, and local knowledge of Carlow county. That during and subsequently to the last three con- tested elections or the representation of the county of Carlow, viz., in December, 1832, and in January and June, 183.5, the most scandalous corruption and inhuman intimi dation on the past of the Tory landlords and of a Peer of Parliament have prevailed in the said county against ho nest and independent but poor electors ; that during the last few years thousands of the Catholic tenantry and ancient resident labouring families by political party spirit and religious persecution have been expelled from their re sidences and lands, and Protestants substituted in their place ; that hundreds of widows and orphans have been in cluded in this wicked and unchristian proscription and per secution ; that by the fear of similar persecutions numbers of the electors have been coerced to give their votes for the Tory candidates, who would have otherwise notoriously supported the Reform candidates ; that persecution by the cost and terror of distraints for rent and other legal pro cesses has been extensively resorted to for political and party purposes ; and that appalling misery, dissension, heartburnings, and all sorts of crime, have been, and still are, the unhappy consequences of these illegal, unconstitu tional, and wicked proceedings. That to inform your Honourable House of the exent of these dreadful oppressions, partly perpetrated for political and election purposes, your petitioner inserts the following account of expelled and substituted families in parts of the said county of Carlow—a public account never yet contra dicted as acts, though the motives have been questioned, viz. :--- " In one parish, the parish of Dunleckney, there have been ejected within the last few years, by three or four landlords, 178 families, amounting to 992 individuals, including 224 wi dows and orphans, namely— " From the townlands Of Ballinkilten, the property of Vis count Beresford, where the system first commenced, there were evicted at once 39 families, amounting to 205 individuals, including 56 widows and orphans.

" Besides those already evicted, notice to quit in a few months have been served by the same landlords upon the fol lowing number of families—viz.

" These families, added to those already ejected, make in all 249 families, amounting to 1,383 individuals, including 316 widows and orphans. That your Hon. House, fully to do justice to your peti tioner, to the Carlow electors, to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., and to the several petitioners, and all parties concerned, cannot, in the respectful opinion of your petitioner, decide on the merits of the said petitions without a full and unre stricted inquiry into all the above facts and circumstances. Your petitioner therefore humbly prays that your Hon. House will be pleased to institute a full and strict inquiry, and that your petitioner may be examined with all neces, sary agents, parties, and witnesses, in the matters of the said petition, and concerning the said elections and matters in the county of Carlow ; and that your petitioner may be heard by himself, counsel, or agents, And your petitioner will ever pray, &c., NICHOLAS AYLWARD VIGORS. REFORM OF THE LONDON COR- PORATION. Yesterday deputations from the Wards of Cripplegate Without, and Farringdon Without, waited by appointment upon Lord John Russell, at the Home-Office, to lay before his Lordship copies of resolutions passed at meetings of the above Wards, relative to Corporate Reform. The deputations consisted Of Aldermen Wood, M.P., and Harmer ; of Messrs. Richard Taylor, Baylis, Atkin son, Galloway, Haynes, Robinson, and Dixon, members of the Common Council ; and Mr. Dillon, the mover of the resolution at one of the Ward meetings. Mr. Alderman WOOD explained the object of the depu tations, which was to place in the bands of Lord John Rus sell a resolution passed unanimously, as follows : " That it is highly expedient that a Bill should, as speedily as possible, be brought in and be passed by the Legislature, for the Reform of the Corporation of the City of London ; and that, in the opinion of this Wardmote, such Bill ought to provide for an extention of the constituency, which at pre sent does not generally i nc l u d e merchants and wholesale dealers ; for the better management and control of the funds of the Corporation ; for a total separation of the Municipal Corporation from our Trading Companies ; and above all, for the abolition of the present mode of electing Aldermen for life, by a small portion of the constituency; and of choosing the Lord Mayor by the Court of Aldermen, on the nomina tion of two Aldermen by the Livery, instead of an open elec tion by the freemen of the Corporation • and, that as far as may be practicable, th e p r i nc i p l es o f the Bill for the Reform of Municipal Corporations, as originally brought in by his Majesty's Ministers, should be made applicable to the Corpo ration of this city." Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that the Commissioners had not yet delivered their report relative to the City of Lon don ; hut when received, it would have the best considera tion of his Majesty's Government. Mr. DILLON stated, that although the Corporation of the City of London had (no doubt judiciously) been omitted from the general Bill, yet that the citizens who passed the above resolutions wished that the reform of that Corporation should not be lost sight of. A committee of the Common Council had now before them upwards of a liumired...aue:. of London when he stated, that they would be better satis fied with a measure devised by his Majesty's Government, not doubting but that it would be constructed upon liberal • principles. Mr. Alderman HARMER said that the number of sug gestions now before the Common Council would necessarily be reduced and consolidated, and if they could agree upon suggestions, he trusted that his Majesty's Ministers would listen to them. Lord JOHN RUSSELL concluded the conference by as surances that the subject should not be neglected ; that any suggestions like those referred to should have due atten- tion ; but that the Government would frame the best mea sure in their power, without being governed by the re commendations of any party.

The Great Handicapped Match.—Tuesday was a fine field day in pigeon shooting at the Red House inclosure. The match had be gun by thirty-two members for a very superb silver cup, the distances being handicapped. Four had then killed six birds each of their seven, and in shooting that tie off Mr. George Taylor and Mr. Fox each again killed six. Some thousands depended upon the issue of the contest. On the one hand was Mr. Taylor, a gent l eman w h o has carried off some very beautiful prizes, and w h o h as competed with Groom and 13 loodsworth , and in single matches has clone won derful execution. On theother hand was one w h o had never h a d a shy in public.

COUSH., THE Loui LIEUTENANT.—Party spirit k giving way fa the better influence; of Lord Mulgrave's wise and popular ad ministration of affairs. His Excellency's last levee was attended by more than a thousand !persons, comprising most of the principal people of the country, without containing that preponderance on the side of the Liberals which has been hitherto observed. Their Excellencies giro dinners twice a-week '(Tuesd a y s and Fridays), an d the b alls in the evening are uncommonly ivell attended._ The late muting at Tipperary will have a beneficial effect upon thou) waverers who have not yet attended the levees, as they will have the good sense t' follow the example of Colonel. Bagwell, who appears to ,respect Lord Mulgrave, not merely as the representative of Royalty, but from observing the bene fits produced upon his native land by a paternal Government„ anxious to do equal justice to all parties. NEWSPAPER TAX. The following admirable and closely reasoned petition is in course of signature at Boston : To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the undersigned Merchants, Traders, and hab it ants s of the borough of B os t on , i n the county of Lin its nity, Sheweth,--That, there can be no virtue without freedom of thought —no freedom of thought without freedom of speech. That, printing is to be considered as the extension of writing—writing the extension of speech. That, consequently, a law passed with a view to enslave the press, is , in fact, an attempt to destroy freedom of thought and speech, and thus to encourage crime and misery. - That, to encourage crime and misery, by positive law, is a political absurdity. We, therefore, petition your Honourable House, to repeal at once, and totally, that law which erects itself against free dom of thought and speech, against national virtue and happi ness—that bad law, otherwise call td, the Stamp Duty on Newspapers • the duty on p aper, and all imposts affecting the diffusion of knowledge. ••• LISBON PAPERS. LISBON, FEB. 2.—The _Mario contains in the official part, the report of the Marquis de Loule on the arrange ment of the differences between Portugal and - Sardinia, through the mediation of his Britannic Majesty, and pro ' posing to her Majesty a de _tree (which is subjoined to the repot t) for again admitting vessels under Sardinian colours into the ports of the Kingdom,' and restoring the inter course between the two States to its former footing. We refrain from speaking of the last sitting but one of the Elective Chamber, which was destined for the reading of Reports of Comm"tteeß; but as we are informed, was changed into a vasb field of disputes, so that the President ,was obliged to put an end to its sitting, finding it impossible to restore order. How do the Deputies understand the powers which have been given them by their constituents ? Were they conferred on them to support caprices, personal ill-humour, to make a parade of a vain ostentation of words, for the utterance of invec tives, or to legislate. for the Portuguese nation which the Deputies represent, and which is so much in want of their labours LISBON, FEB. 3.—The intimation given in the Elective Chamber respecting the submitting of treaties of commerce to the previous approbation of the legislative b o dy, th e acrimonious d e b a t e w hi c h ensue d , an some of the ideas brought forward by the minority of the Deputies, give us reason to perceive that there exists in certain minds the hope of embarrassing the Government by a systematic, though not powerful opposition. No one doubts of the necessity or use of an opposition in all representative Governments, and consequently in our chambers also ; but this opposition in our present very pe culiar situation ought to be judicious, natural, free from caprice and rash ambition. After a civil war, such as in flicted us, nothing is more natural than that there should be some confusion ; but its being natural does not hinder it from being injurious. A melancholy inheritance which anarchy always leaves to the national party, violent passions and absurd pretensions agitate and overturn eterything ; they seek to gratify themselves ; they aspire to command, and it is neces sary that the Constitutional Monarch should pass safe the - ralionsiunity ana guiamg, according to his caprices, this dangerous voyage ? Is it not just that he should con sult the wish of the skilful officers, of all the illustrious pas sengers who are embarked in the vessel of State ? For bur part, we think that this mode, not that of an opposition of ill humour or personal ambition, is the most safe to reach in safety the poet which we seek to gain.

Norton and John Hardwick, Esq., the Magistrates of Lambeth-street, being apprized of the church being on fire, hastened thither, and rendered. the most essential service in their judicious direction of the firemen and others engaged in endeavouring to extinguish the flames. The woodwork which supported the peal of bells having been re duced by the flames, the bells, which were twelve in number, and were considered the finest in the metropolis, fell one by one, with a tremendous crash, part;cularly the tenor, which weighed no less than forty-four hundred weight. This bell, it was feared, would, from its, ponderous weight, have caused much damage in its fall ; b ut , ow i ng t o a s trong arch being formed under the floor of the belfry, this was prevented, and the larp hell in falling on the top of the others split right in two, The damage done to the church, which it is said is not insured, is considerable. The noble spire, which consisted of a spacious vestry-room, belfry, &c., is completely gutted, be sides the entrance part of the church considerably injured_ The noble organ must also be much damaged by the torrents of water flowing from the flames passing through it, so that it will require several thousand pounds to fit it up again. It is not a little singular that it is not more than a month ago since the last rate to pay an expenditure of nearly 8,0001. for beau tifying and repairing this church had been collected, and the parishioners were congratulating themselves upon having got rid of that which they considered a great burthen. They will now have by this calamity to pay several thousands more. While the flames were raging a funeral arrived at the church gates, and the Rev. Mr. Stone, the Rector, amidst all the confusion, and notwithstanding all the excitement, performed the solemn ceremony, and the corpse was interred. At eight o'clock the flames were completely subdued, and all further apprehension for the safety of the church removed. The fire. engines still continue to play upon the smouldering embers. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—A court was yesterday held for the dispatch of business. Mr. Heppell moved that a sum not exceeding two hundred guineas be granted for the aid, of the unfortunate crews of the vessels bound up in the ice in the North Sea, which, after some dis cussion, was put and carried unanimously. Deputy Corney moved, a grant of one hundred guineas to the distressed clergy. ivir. Crawford said he would be disposed to second the motion if the sum were twice as great, and concluded by moving as an amendment that the sum of 200 guineas be granted for that purpose. Both the original motion and the amendment led to some discussion, the result of which was that the amend ment was carried by a majority of 57 against 47. Mr. Hep poll then moved the following addition to the amendment And that the Court, in making this grant, considers it expe dient to record the expression of its regret that, by the effec tual resistance hitherto opposed by one branch of the Legisla ture to measures calculated to tranquillize Ireland, by remov ing from the payment of tithes much of the occasion of vexa tion, animosity, end violence, any portion of the Protestant Clergy of that part of the empire should be placed under the necessity of appealing to private benevolence." This addition to the resolution having been seconded 'l , :y Mr. Wire, was can by a majority of seven, the neuters b e ing, 60 for, and 53 against.
